Two hundred and ninetieth chapters infiltrating smile
After a brief commotion, the screening room returned to a period of calm.
The screen dimmed for a few seconds and then turned on again.
Jiang Ge was sitting in the guest seat and looked slightly at Cao Bangguo next to him.
Cao Bangguo's eyes stared at the dim screen, with a hint of depth flashing from time to time, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Not sure if it was his misunderstanding, but he felt that Cao Bangguo had become a lot colder to him recently.
Carefully recalling everything that happened when we met today, it seems that there is no difference from before.
The same greetings as always, the familiar smile, the friendly voice...
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Jiang Ge shook his head, looked at the screen, and stopped thinking about it.
Django actually has no expectations for the movie "The Grandmaster"...
At the very beginning, the relevant departments actually approached Cao Bangguo to discuss the filming of "The Grandmaster".
At that time, "Hero" was a hit and sold well overseas. Martial arts movies seemed to be ushering in a second spring. Naturally, the relevant departments wanted to continue their efforts and make a martial arts film co-produced by cross-strait and three places.
The intention was good and the idea was good, but as soon as Cao Bangguo heard about the martial arts movie, he shook his head and rejected it without saying a word.
Not only did Cao Bangguo refuse, but even Shen Changwei, the director of "Hero", refused without hesitation.
From the glory of Hong Kong films in the 1980s to their decline, there have been hundreds of Chinese martial arts films, large and small.
Revenge, family hatred, counterattack, rise of silly boy...
In the past few decades, Chinese directors have filmed all the routines that our martial arts films can produce dozens of times. If latecomers want to film them, they will not be able to produce anything new at all, and they can only make the same old mistakes.
Cao Bangguo is unwilling...
"Hero" is in full swing. If you make another martial arts movie and the box office is not as high as "Hero", wouldn't this mean that you are not as good as Shen Changwei?
Shen Changwei is even more unwilling. "Hero" exhausted his energy, and there is no way to surpass "Hero" if he makes another film. If he makes the same routine, isn't that nonsense?
The choice finally fell on Hong Kong director Wong Ka-shing.
"Boom!"
Just when Jiang Ge was expressionless, he suddenly heard a big drum sound coming from the dark big screen!
It's deep and deep, as if it comes from outside, striking people's hearts violently.
The dark screen began to gradually light up, and under the dim light, a figure seemed to be vaguely exposed.
The figure from behind picked up the drumstick and struck the big drum violently again.
"Boom!"
The dull sound of the drum sounded again, majestic and mighty, exaggerating the endless chill. A gust of wind on the screen caused the flag to swing. The four words "Defend the Home and the Country" on the flag fluttered in the wind, setting off a vast setting sun...
The screen gradually became clearer, and the setting sun was like blood, sprinkled on the earth, as if it was stubbornly fighting against the approaching night, unwilling to pass away.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Above the sky, the sunset fills the air.
Under the sky, the waves beat against the rocks, surging like horns, and the sparkling sea surface reflected the red clouds, as if stained with blood.
The figure playing the drum under the setting sun has strong muscles and layers of scars on his body. He looks like a ferocious but powerful rainbow. Every time he hits the drum, it seems that all his strength is gushing out.
The camera zoomed in again, and the muscular figure beat the drum more and more frequently, the sound was like thunder, and the rhythm became faster and faster. It was obviously the setting sun filling the sky, but it was like a heavy rain falling.
The powerful rhythm of the drum beats from slow to fast, with frequent bursts. The magnificent momentum is inspiring...
Along with the sound of drums, the sound of pipa rises, and the sound of pipa sets off the big drum. Fully grasp the speed, sometimes slow down, sometimes faster, the rhythm sometimes disperses and sometimes adjusts, the palace tunes are changeable, and the sound wave rises and falls...
"Facing the waves with pride
Hot blood is like the red sunlight
Courage is like iron and bone is like fine steel..."
The song starts!
The high-pitched and explosive sound reverberated throughout the screening hall. During the singing, the camera moved downwards to the beach. On the vast land like a blood-stained sky, a group of strong young people were naked, between the sea and the sky.
, punching Hong Fist neatly, every punch is vigorous and full of explosive power!
The figure from behind continued to beat the big drum, his muscles trembling with the beat of the drum, and the veins on his neck bulged under the camera, and he was sweating profusely.
"Wow!"
"Oh my God!"
"This, this, makes my blood boil. This is Zhou Yang's voice, Zhou Yang's voice!"
"Could this drummer be Zhou Yang?"
"..."
There was a very inappropriate scream from the rear, and then they realized something was wrong, and several girls covered their mouths in excitement.
They stared at the screen closely, their blood was boiling and they had mixed feelings. Their eyes were sparkling and their whole bodies were trembling with excitement.
Jiang Ge's face was cold.
He was very disgusted with such superficial and idiotic fans. He even snorted softly while watching the screen.
Screen camera switching.
"Courage is like iron and bone is like fine steel
A broad mind and a far-sighted vision
I work hard to be a good man..."
Under the heroic and majestic singing, the scene changes, and the protagonist Huo Yuanjie is sitting by the train window, letting the sunset shine, with a calm and indifferent expression, like a master.
only……
Somehow, the excited girls in the back row felt an indescribable sense of loss in their hearts.
……………………
The background of the movie "The Grandmaster" is exactly the same as that of the movie "Once Upon a Time in the World".
They are all based on the general background after China and Japan signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895.
Although Wong Ka-shing is very unreliable when making movies and always does things that leave people speechless for no apparent reason, the quality of the movies he makes is very high.
There is no cliche little guy rising up, no revenge, and no so-called poor boy marrying Bai Fumei to counterattack...
After the passionate theme song, a gust of wind and sand blew by. After the sand fell to the ground, a devastated Chinese land appeared in front of all the movie fans, causing the originally high emotions to fall to the bottom in an instant.
Every director has a director's characteristics.
Wang Shuai is good at photographing the sorrows of small people, and his lens style is more documentary...
Christian is good at capturing emotions in desperate situations. His shots are full of tension and you can feel the struggle through the screen.
Huang Jiacheng, on the other hand, is good at rendering scenes. Whether it is a passionate scene or a low-spirited scene, he can capture them all at his fingertips.
Under the screen.
The dilapidated and chaotic streets, addicted to gambling and opium, and the drunken people looked numbly at the White Lotus sect who walked around in white clothes and shouted: "The Inanimate Mother Saves the World".
It is like a scroll of paper that depicts the various states of life, and also depicts the unbearable and humiliating years of mourning the country.
The light on the screen flickered, illuminating An Zhibin's indifferent face.
His mood suddenly became a little heavy.
I just felt like there was a breath in my chest, and I couldn't express it no matter how I expressed it. It was very uncomfortable to hold it in.
He had watched many movies, but he had to admit that the scenes in this movie really touched him.
on the screen.
The sad and numb scenes gradually dimmed along with the background sound.
The simple plaque with the words "Chaotian Guan" loomed in the darkness, and then gradually disappeared into the darkness.
In the brief darkness, a candlelight lit up, and the flickering candlelight illuminated a strange face, and then the light dimmed again.
"Heaven for the Jade Emperor"
"The earth is replaced by the king of hell"
"There is a white lotus in my heart..."
The shuddering Tong Yao's voice rang out, and a lantern lit up in the darkness amid Tong Yao's voice.
A little girl held a lantern and walked in the darkness, like the whispering ghost in a horror movie, sinking into the infinite darkness again step by step.
When the screen's light came back on, lanterns illuminated the entire screen.
The camera slowed down and turned to a copper furnace. The flames in the furnace were burning brightly and burning brighter and brighter...
"Old Mother Wu Sheng sat down in the Nine Palaces and set up an altar in Chaotian Temple to show the power of my magical power and carry forward the power of my religion!"
Beside Tonglu, a corner of an altar was exposed in the moonlight. On the altar, the statue of Buddha was ferocious and terrifying, like an evil ghost from the Nine Netherworld.
In the void, spells were scattered one by one. In the corner of the altar, foreigners dripping with blood were lying in a pool of blood. Their bodies were covered with various spells. Their expressions were painful and they were twitching constantly. It was obvious that they were not dead.
In the center of the altar, in front of the ferocious statue, sat a young man with his legs crossed.
The young man held the burning talisman, his fingers trembled wildly, as if possessed by an evil spirit, and he muttered the words "The great disciple of the Wusheng Old Mother came to the world to save all living beings" and "The magical power protects the body and is invincible in the world."
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to be possessed by something, making all kinds of strange movements without warning, and then those whispering nonsense became lighter and lighter...
When all the audience thought that his method was over, he roared loudly, stamped his feet on the ground, stood up from the altar as if he had been injected with chicken blood, waved his robe, and stared at the screen with a murderous expression, indirectly
He twitched uncontrollably like an epileptic, and murmured words even louder. Finally, he jumped down from the altar and performed a set of majestic Taizu long fists...
"White Lotus comes to the world!"
"All nations surrender!"
“Save all sentient beings!”
"Magical body protection!"
Waves of roars sounded, and the audience stared at the crazy figure on the screen...
The girls in the back row stared in disbelief at that familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Almost at the same time, such an idea appeared in their minds!
he!
Is it Zhou Yang?
Immediately afterwards, the scene froze on the little girl holding the lantern, and the little girl suddenly smiled strangely at the camera...
The camera freezes on that weird smile and slowly escapes into endless darkness.
In front of the screen, those girls trembled violently!
This movie...
Isn't it a ghost movie?
This idea appeared in their minds again.
……………………
"He used his crazy-like acting skills to well explain what it means to be in troubled times, and there must be monsters, especially the shuddering smile of the little girl at the end, which is creepy!"
Baliming murmured to himself.
Later, I wrote this paragraph in the notebook I carried with me.
Huang Jiacheng, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the frightened movie fans around him.
He grinned.
The weird smile at the end was suggested by Zhou Yang.
In order to capture this chilling feeling, they took more than a hundred shots in a row before finally capturing the most penetrating shot.
this moment……
Coupled with Zhou Yang's epileptic acting skills, the "evil" is vividly rendered, which is simply perfect!
